Messed up my clicks 🫣

[Mich57]

I think I just messed up my dosage!
Been on MJ since 25th may.... Slow and steady...
Have moved from 2.5 to 5ml but only wanted to do 5 x 3.75 (40 clicks). I'm finding it sufficient with little side effects and good suppression.
2nd week and for some weird reason did 50 clicks instead of 40 🫣🤯
Not sure how I can balance it out?!?!
Thank you - please be kind 🙏🏻 I know I'm a numpty

45 clicks of a 5mg pen is 3.75. So you've done 5 clicks too many. I'd use that and then just do 40 clicks next time and you'll have used your 2 x 45 clicks.

That'll mean you've done 4.1mg in the first jab and then 3.3 in the next. If you're worried about that, maybe don't push the plunger all the way and try and do it right next time.

Have moved from 2.5 to 5ml - you mean 5mg not ml...

3.75mg is 45 clicks not 40 clicks.

If you have done 40+50 clicks and want to stick to 40 clicks (3.33mg). Then 40+50 then +40+40+40 = 210 clicks in total which you will still be able to do before your pen locks

If you have done 40+50 clicks and want to stick at 50 clicks (4.17mg). Then 40+50 then +50+50+50 = 240 clicks in total which you should still be able to do before your pen locks

Tip - Mark you pen at 40 (or 50) clicks with a biro so you have a check point in future.

Just take it as it’s prescribed then you will have no errors in future.

Thank you.... 😘

@WeAllHaveWings- where do you mark it for 45 clicks.

OP if it’s any consolation I think I miscounted today as well! I’m on week 4 of 3.75 and think I accidentally miscounted today, as I seem to have quite a lot left for what should be my last dose next week of 3.75

Count it really slowly and carefully the first time you do 45 clicks and then mark it in the space with a sharpie. If you plan to keep repeating it, it saves the counting every single time and keeps you accurate.

The theory for working out clicks is….

dose required divided by pen strength x 60 = clicks

3.75 divided by 5mg x 60 = 45 clicks

This theory works for all strengths.

I used to count the clicks then use a biro and mark a little cross in the window for next time.

Now when I do 45 clicks I know one full turn of dose knob is 20 clicks and the 0 lines up under the window, or on second full turn you’ll see a little notch line up under the window. So I know to do two full turns + 5 clicks. If out by one click it doesn’t matter.

More accurate way imo is to click all the way to the 60 then wind back 15.

Does this not ‘use up’ some of the clicks so it locks sooner? Genuinely curious as hadn’t thought of this. Thanks for the tips about how it lines up too! @weallhavewings

Not in my experience and I chose a lower dose with reverse clicking for most of the last 5 months.
